Listen in the reader

Dear lady-readers of whatever age, Look backward and with me enjoy this page. What happy moments have we often spent Thus to our frenzied anger giving vent. Ah, me, the long-lost joys of being young! To make up faces, and stick out one's tongue; How those occasions of Xantippish strife Gave zip and zest to our dull childish life.
